Christians with an unchrist like approach in dealing with ho
roperfam:
--- Quote from: eutychus --- the wicked is the one that claims Christ but dosent acknowlage his sin.

Amen, those who don't see their sickness, and the need for a doctor.
Sorin:
Fine, then I'm the wicked one. but I do acknowledge my sins.
just because I'm a sinner, doesn't mean I have to be in accord with rapists, murderers, child molesters, animal shaggers, or homosexuals.

I agree we don't have to be in one accord with these people.
However, if God is revealing to them their sin, and the wages of their sin (death) is working in them a desire for change, and they are seeking repentance, I think then we are to restore them to love, with open arms. Realizing change is a process, and not instantaneous.
I'll bet there are many homosexuals etc. who are at a place of brokeness, and desire someone to talk to, someone who will share the love of Christ to them, but are afraid to talk to a Christian, because of fear of being judged.
shibboleth:
Let's get back to what this topic was about in the first place. The parents threw their gay son out of the house, and that is about all we really know.
I can speculate and try to think of all kinds of reasons why he was thrown out, but I don't really know.
It isn't the gay people who live quiet lives I object to, but the ones who are intolerant of anyone disagreeing with their lifestyle. If I say being gay is sinful, I am considered homophobic and unloving. These people should be treated respectfully, but I do not approve of what they do. It isn't any different than disapproving of a rapist, murderer, adultress, thief or any other sin. If you can show me in scripture my sin, I will look at the Bible and say I never knew that was sin. I can be ignorant of sin, and there are passages that talk about these type of sins.
If people want to be homosexual, that is their business. But the in your face, accept my lifestyle or you're a bigot thinking is not right.
Homosexuals have a high rate of alcohol addiction and drug addiction. This lifestyle certainly isn't gay.
